National Atlanticism

An ideological current that fuses Atlanticism (close cooperation between North America and Europe) with nationalist priorities. National Atlanticism emphasizes that Atlantic solidarity serves the national interest of each member state, not just a abstract “Western community.” It supports NATO, free trade, and cultural ties, but frames them as instruments for national security and prosperity rather than as steps toward supranational governance. National Atlanticism often appears in countries that are strongly proUS but also protective of their own sovereignty. It rejects both isolationist nationalism and federalist globalism.
Example: “Her National Atlanticism led her to support the US alliance enthusiastically, but only as long as her country retained control over its own military decisions—alliance without subordination.”

International Atlanticism

The view that Atlantic cooperation should transcend national boundaries, leading toward deeper integration of political, economic, and security structures among North Atlantic nations. International Atlanticism advocates for shared sovereignty, common institutions, and a collective identity that reduces the importance of individual nation‑states. It is often associated with proposals for a North American‑European free trade area, a common foreign policy, or even a transatlantic parliament. Critics on the left see it as corporate‑driven globalization; critics on the right see it as a threat to national independence. Proponents argue it is necessary to compete with rising powers like China.
Example: “The proposal for a Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership was driven by International Atlanticism—an attempt to lock in regulatory alignment and reduce national veto power over corporate rights.”

Battle of the Atlantic 

The Battle of the Atlantic is was an event in World War Two, in which the largest battleship to ever be created, the Bismarck, was sunk off the coast of Brest, France.

The main focus of the Battle of the Atlantic was to cut the British off from the United States, in hopes of making the Brits surrender so Hitler could focus on the USSR. The German Navy, or Kriegsmarine, launched a daring raid of the Atlantic shipping convoys. The Kriegsmarine sent the Bismarck and the battlecruiser Prinz Eugen. The British home fleet, commanded by Admiral John Tovey, was sent to sink the Bismarck. A small intercept fleet was sent to Iceland, commanded by Vice Admiral Lancelot Holland and the battlecruiser HMS Hood. When Hood and the Prince of Wales reached the Bismarck, the waters were too choppy, and the destroyers had to turn back, so the Hood and Prince of Wales had to fight the Bismarck and Prinz Eugen alone. The Hood was sunk and the Prince of Wales had to retreat. Eventually, near Brest, the battleships Rodney and King George V sunk the Bismarck

The Friend School of Atlanta 

A school with a student body fewer than 200 housing grades k-12. Although the name friend might be in the name the school isn't always so friendly. Do to the small population if you do not get along with your cohorts then you often will be friendless and lonely. The teachers there are mostly really nice with a few exceptions. There is one hated class. Student skills. There is also a teacher named Alex who yells when she's happy. It's a interesting school.
